This kick in as completelly off topic! But if you guys ever swap to disc brakes, you should consider No tubes Avion Pro.
I am still amazed i can pull off such speed on this bike and these wheels.
Riding much fatter tires (Schwalbe G-One 35mm tubeless and Hutchinson Black Mamba CX (34mm tubeless).
Also tested Schwalbe S-One 30mm tubeless. These simply kick ass. Marvelous acceleration!
I never thought fat tires and a bike like UP would be able to kick like this!!
I mean, compare this to running a 700 g frame and Ax Stream 38 or Easton Aero 55 (both tub) fitted with 23mm tires.

It simply makes me wonder how this is possible!?
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

What about maintenance? I assume it actually costs less than CCU. Any thoughts?

Interesting. One of my teammates also used P38T and he said it seems to be less aero than the Aeolus 3 D3 front 5 D3 rear.

Thanks for sharing.
